Careers

If you choose to major in chemistry you will be given a basis, upon graduation, for employment in chemical or related industries, entry into graduate school, transfer to a medical or dental school, entry into the many environmental fields which are increasingly important, or employment in the myriad of industries which depend on chemists for their continued success.

Supplementing your chemistry courses with studies in other areas such as agriculture, biology, geosciences, physics and business gives you the opportunity to tailor your program to individual interests and vocational goals. A minor in chemistry will strengthen majors in many other disciplines, enhancing your understanding of the factors which influence all aspects of the modern world.
